The decentralized version of the web is definitely here to disrupt everything known in the soon to be gone old world (web2).
We've seen the rise of digital autonomy reclamation, gradually earthing the absolute potency of what is left of the central system of the web. It's no news to the inexplicable ease that DeFi has brought to the world of finance, so with Gaming, Real Estate and many more we've seen and some which we are yet to experience.
Web3 is not just like every other previous Web versions you've had encounters with. Aside its decentralized feature of control and autonomy and security, it's also an incentivized system that rewards time, effort and general participation with systems.
